Hula hooping - it's still a fun pastime for kids, even in our digital age. But it's also a great form of exercise for adults, which has taken the Auckland market by storm and is on its way to Hamilton.
Founder of Powerhooping NZ Amy McAuley is looking for locations
in Hamilton to host demonstrations and for people to train as instructors with a view to holding regular classes.
"We have demos planned for around the country over next few weeks including in Hamilton - it's a great way to get in shape and it has the fun factor," said Amy.
The classes, says Amy, are suitable for anyone of any age, shape, size and fitness level. Top athletes have been known to attend the classes alongside first-timers.
"The eldest we've had along is 76. The majority of people who attend the classes tend to be women, although Amy has heard from women whose husbands do the hooping exercises at home.
